Summary
- Deepa Nayar, known as Annie from 'Priyam', vanished after one film.
- She chose engineering studies over further acting offers.

Deepa Nayar, the actress who captured hearts as Annie in the 2000 Malayalam film 'Priyam,' has revealed the reasons behind her abrupt departure from cinema after just one role. Her unforgettable performance alongside Kunchacko Boban in the film, inspired by Mahesh Bhatt's 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke,' left audiences wondering about her subsequent career path.
Nayar, who was a student when she acted in 'Priyam,' explained that she received a few offers after the film's success. However, these did not seem compelling enough to abandon her engineering studies. She and her parents decided that completing her education was paramount.
Following her academic pursuits, Nayar pursued a Master's degree at Melbourne University and became engrossed in her career. Social media was not as prevalent then, leading to her gradual fading from public memory. She noted the rise of other talented actresses during that period.
